The King Orange.

Mr.. Lyman Phelps, of Sanford, Fla, in
the Florida Dispatch, says that he lately
received from C. E. Cutler, of Riverside,
CAL, very handsome orange, 1.-THE King"
Size, seventy-six, color that of the Manda-
rim, skin trifle thicker than the Mandarin,
orange more heavier and more solid or COM
pact, shape very like the Satsuma. The
orange pleased him very much. If it can
be kept ripening MS late as its period of ma
turity in California June, it will be very
much to be desired.
be proposes to take care of the buds he
has growing to see what Florida's favorable
climate will do for it. He confidently ex-
pects to show the fruit two years from the
coming winter, possibly year from next
summer.
This is Mr.. Cutters description: 1.-THE
King is sal generis the strongest acid and
lnits best ripened specimens the finest orange
have ever tasted. 1t reproduces itself from
seed. Is very thorny and rigid and upright
in growth. Very late now June 1st) is
about ripe, rough and free rind ovals, bios
SONS very small and with little perfume
Altogether the tree is the least beautiful of
orange trees. 1t was imported from Saigon,
Cochin China, under government seal, by
DR.. S. r. Magee, of Riverside. l have been
the first to fruit it, Had two specimens
last year and had two to three boxes this
year"
The firm of Twogood & Cutler are well
known and any statements they may make
will be trustworthy.
Mr.. Phelps will plant the seeds Of this
orange and test the reproduction Its strong
character would naturally lead one to the
belief that it would reproduce itself, and in
our favoring climatic conditions possibly
improve.

A THIN, watery tasteless apple-sauce is q
libel on the apples and a disgrace TO the
COOK. After washing the pieces of apples
II a colander let them stew with only water
enough to cover them. Continue stewing
until they can be easily mashed through.
Sweeten the sauce while the apples are
warm; season with rose water, lemon juice
and nutmeg. Some very thin slices of fresh
lemon peel stewed with the apples, add
greatly to the delicate SAVIOR. Too sweet
apples do not cook well

The Banana in Florida.

Mr.. r. w. Reasoner, of Manatee county,
fla. writing to the American Ag9tcultu-
list. saws that the banana flourishes best in
+, very moist, rich soil, but will not endure
standing water about the roots. The best
possible location for banana patch is on
the bank sloping down to lake or ebay
head" The ''springy" nature of the soil in
such location agrees perfectly with the
roots of the banana, provided they are not
planted far enough down to reach standing
water. The preparation Of the land for ba-
mana does not necessarily involve thorough
yrubbing of new land, as on rich hummock
or bayhead tracts, the simple cutting of the
trees and underground and budding" the
pamettoes is all that is really necessary.
On rich new lands of this soil the plants
NAV be set Immediately after the land is
cleared, with no other preparation. The
palmetto tops and most of the brush and
logs may be left upon the ground-cutting
ND brush in the first place somewhat All
this rubbish will decay just about as fast as
the roots of the plants need it, and much Of
it can be knocked to pieces in a few months
with an ordinary hoe. The plants may be
set then in true Honduras fashion, of which
afriend gives the following modus operGndi,
In the words of a native: "In de fus place, "
said he, 1--WE chops down dc trees and burns
all of dey tat we can; den we cuts de ba-
mana sprouts into pieces wild an axe and
makes little holes vid a mattock about so far
apart (the distance Illustrated by stretching
out his long arms, den we chucks dem in
and away dey goes"
On such naturally rich land a semi-annual
clearing up with sharp hoe, assisted by axe
Or Ratchet, "machete" or bush hook, will be
all the cultivation they will need for years.
On moist hillside land that is naturally poor
the bananas will be greatly benefited by a
very heavy mulch of grass and trash, re-
newed annually and rarely disturbed, except
to kill such weeds as sprout up through it.
When cultivated on high, dry land the ba-
mana needs different treatment, according
TO quality and character of soil, location
and other circumstances. In Middle Flor
ida, where the soil is all of sandy charac-
ter, the banana will succeed almost any
where where good corn crop can be pro
duced. Thorough preparation of the soil
manures, and heavy mulch renewed an
uually) will usually produce good results.
In few rich and favored spots, among the
ten thousand islands, and along the main
land of extreme South Florida, the banana
is planted and cultivated exactly as a crop
of corn is treated. The soil in these loca-
tons varies from very rich shell hummock
toa light-colored clay and sometimes black
loan. We are not in favor of this mode of
cultivation, as the banana is surface feeder,
and cultivation with hoe or pillow, however
shallow, will in every case take most of the
roots and retard the growth of the plant
rather than hasten it. On the other hand
a heavy mulch all over the ground would
keep down weeds, keep the soil underneath
light and friable, and furnish fertilizing ma
terial as it decayed.

New Use for Cotton Stalks.

Mr.. Daniel bennett writes as follows in
the New Orleans Rcaynne: We learn that
some of the farmers around Summit, Miss,
are getting more profits from their standing
cotton stalks than from their baled lint
After the cotton is harvested they clip the
tops and branches of the stalks, clear off and
plow thoroughly and fertilize, and at the
proper season plant peas for market, a row
on each side, both rows supported by the
cotton stalks. They say that early peas al
ways bring good price in all of the mar
kets, the only drawback having been the
trouble and expense of sticking them
Grown on old cotton stalks the sticking costs
almost nothing. If this is as great a success
as they claim for it, early peas can be raised
for Western and Eastern cities, all the way
from the Gulf shore to the Ohio river. In
Southern Louisiana the gardeners often
plant peas in the latter part Of December
Southern Louisiana and Mississippi and
Florida can send peas to market late in
February and early in March in large guam
titles. The climate will to the end of time
give the Southern States the monopoly of
the early pea industry.

Level or Hill Country,

1t has been a disputed question for many
years, says the Philadelphia Record. whether
level or hill country was better for growing
crops, but as there are so many differences
in soils while the modes required for crops
of all kinds are unlike, the experience of
each farmer on his own soil can alone de-
eide the matter The fact is that, under
certain conditions, either mode may be bet
ter than the other. On soils that are damp,
with subsoils composed of stiff clay, the
killing system may perhaps be preferable;
but where the soil is well underdrained, or
the ground rolling, the level may be more
suitable Cultivation of the soil is intended
not only to clear off the grass and weeds but
also to assist the growing plants to obtain
and retain the greatest amount of heat and
moisture, as well as to afford more feed to
the roots. Something also depends upon the
kind of manure and fertilizer used, and upon
the quantity applied. In an experiment
tried by an agricultural journal potatoes
were grown at the rate of 1000 bushels per
acre. but the fertilizer used was in sufficient
quantity to supply all the requirements of
the crop. The level cultivation was prac
ticed in growing the crop, and it is probable
that complete failure would have been the
result had the killing system been followed,
Tor the reason that in order TO dissolve so
large an amount of mineral fertilizer plenty
OF moisture was necessary, which was re-
talned by the field being level, By cult
waiting the entire surface the fine earth served
as covering, or mulch, thereby preventing
evaporation, as capillary attraction drew
The moisture up from below, the connection,
however, being broken where the soil was
stirred. Hill cultivation would not only
nave required the hoe to certain extent.
but would have caused the exposure of a
larger surface to the air, producing greater
evaporation. Corn growers are aware that
tle roots of growing corn extend in every
direction and feed as near the surface as
possible, and for this reason many farmers
check their corn in the rows and cultivate

When banking sweet potatoes, either in a
potato house or under an open shed, it is
very important to leave an opening of six
or eight inches at the top of the bank for
ventilation. Soon after being dug potatoes
seem to undergo a sweating process, which

Curing Tobacco On and Off the Stalk

Curing Tobacco On and Off the Stalk.
Recent experiments made by a North
Carolina gentleman in curing tobacco both
on and off the stalk seem to prove that the
latter is the proper method. 1t is held that
the great bulk of nicotine in tobacco plant
lies in the stalk that in the old process of
curing; this nicotine is driven to the leaf
and hence becomes an injury to it, The
gentleman referred to above states that
stripping the leaves as they ripen and cur
ing them off the stalk almost entirely re-
lieves the tobacco of all nicotine, and. as
consequence, improves its quality to con-
siderable degree. If this can be substan-
tiated as a fact it will greatly revolutionize
the tobacco business with reference to cur
ing A great many planters hold that a
leaf of tobacco broken from the stock be-
fore it is cured becomes lfeless and almost
worthless. This ground is demonstrated to
be false by examining a lot of tobacco
cured after being stripped. We have in our
office a small sample of smoking tobacco
manufactured from leaf stripped in the
field and afterward cured 1t has the
pleasant aroma of fine smoking tobacco.
does not affect the nerves, and does not
leave biting, unpleasant taste after smok-
ing as is often the case with most smoking
tobacco. Whether these qualities arise
from being cured after being broken from
the stalk we don't know, but it seems most
likely that this is the reason. Thorough
experiments will be made this summer to
test this matter, and if there is anything in
the claim of non-nicotine tobacco it will
soon get its quota of credit.
